  • Summary

  • With the professor momentarily pinned down in Perth, we thought it would be the ideal moment for him to talk to us all about his local waters, the great Australian deep sea. Did you know that 70% of Australian waters are deeper than 1000m? Now that’s a lot of deep sea! We hear from the Minderoo-UWA Deep Sea Research Centre’s deputy director, Dr Todd Bond about the huge array of marine geographical features and biodiversity in Australia’s waters. Plus, Alan clears up some ongoing Australian-isms that have left him confused. We also check in with our resident squid expert - Dr Kat Bolstad after the highly anticipated Squidtember comes to a close. Did you vote for your favourite squid, and if so, how did they score? We reckon Alan’s recent videos from the Tonga Trench (that he teased last episode) might’ve had a subtle influence… Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Support us by becoming a patron and joining our deep-sea community!
